I Cried For you

You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of
blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you

But others pass, the never pause
To feel that magic
in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand
why

I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And
when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for
you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a
whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world

With your treasure, a secret for me to
hold

In many years they may forget
This love of ours or
that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And
when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for
you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a
whisper

Without you now I see
How fragile the world can
be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always
stay

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And
when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for
you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
That
beauty need only be a whisper
